Oh, you. "Meh, first Scootaloo episode of the series. Nothing special. OMG RAINBOW DASH."

I got all excited when I saw this thread before remembering it's Friday. And then I noticed I was at work and not at home and it made me sad.

Oh my GOD that episode was INCREDIBLE. It had ALL of the RIGHT dialogue, GOBS of fantastic SONGS, and JEEBUS - Applejack FINALLY got to sing a SOLO!

Bring on more of the awesome!

Can't wait to see about that image from a while ago:

Gep Malakai · December 7 2012, 09:15 PM

Do we know that that still is from this episode?

I'm glad my misplaced non-chalance was noted.

All the promos so far have been using footage and stills from 1-7, 7 is the Wonderbolt Academy and we've seen the first 5.

Gep Malakai · December 8 2012, 04:36 PM

Oh my god, Sweetie Belle's face when she was wheedling Rarity.

Chemahkuu · December 8 2012, 04:39 PM

Recreation of the Show Stoppers opening, "big sis", clucking noise, sonic rainboom shoutout" etc

Gep Malakai · December 8 2012, 04:43 PM

This season certainly is kissing the feet of season 1, isn't it?

Chemahkuu · December 8 2012, 04:49 PM

Yup, Timberwovles, Headless Horse, the Bear again, 'cut a rug' etc

But damn, I thought Sweetie was the who could sing?

Gep Malakai · December 8 2012, 04:54 PM

Headless Luna.

Chemahkuu · December 8 2012, 04:54 PM

Yeah someone in chat just mentioned it's her in each, but the head had evil eyes, so the bodiless "Nightmare" Moon?

Edit: holy crap, Luna's a dreamwalker?

DarkHorizon · December 8 2012, 05:02 PM

*snif* I liked that.

Chemahkuu · December 8 2012, 05:03 PM

That was a great little episode, nice character moments from a lot of the cast and even more screentime and powers from Luna.

Lovely ending though
